Photos from the USWNT's 3-1 win over Australia in the team's first Group D match at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup at Winnipeg Stadium. Megan Rapinoe bagged a brace - the first two-goal performance by a WNT player since Abby Wambach notched two against Colombia in 2007 - while Christen Press scored her first career World Cup goal, and Hope Solo contributed an immense performance to keep Australia at bay.

The USA next faces Sweden, which tied Nigeria 3-3 in Group D's other opening match, on Friday at 8 p.m. ET at Winnipeg Stadium. The match will be broadcast on FOX and NBC Universo.
